Yang yawned as she sat up, noticing her new surroundings. She was in a bed, with yellow blanket. She looked around, noticing her metal arm on a nightstand next to her. She stretched her arms out,"Man, how long was I out?" She asked herself before picking up the arm, and placing it into her stump, wincing as the nerves connected,"Man, I'm never going to get used to that." She then noticed her roommate.
Ruby was sitting up in a bed next to hers, with red blankets. She appeared to be staring at her fists.
Yang smiled at her,"Morning Rubes! Guess what!?" She flexed her bicep,"Big Sis took care of Cinder! No need to thank me." She put her arm down. She noticed that Ruby didn't say anything,"What? Oh, come on, don't tell me you don't believe me." Silence."Oh, I get it." She chuckled,"Alright, I'm sorry for not going with you, and for not being there when you needed me the most. I was in a dark place and..." She sighed heavily,"I needed to get my act together. But I'm here now, and that's all that matters."
More silence.
Yang began to feel concerned,"Ruby, you're scaring me here." She walked over to her and tried to place a hand on her shoulder, only to react with surprise as Ruby slapped her hand away.
"Leave me alone." Ruby whispered, her hair covering her eyes.
"What?" Yang gasped, taking a step back.
"I said, leave me alone." Ruby spoke a little louder.
Yang sighed, and turned to the door,"Right, I get it. I'm sorry." She opened the door, before looking back,"I love you." She went through and closed the door behind her. She frowned and slammed her head on the door,"What happened?"
Qrow's voice began to speak,"... Summer told you about Silver Eyes, right?"
Yang turned her eyes to her uncle standing near the wall behind her,"Yeah, isn't that what froze the dragon at Beacon?"
Qrow nodded,"It activated again while you were talking to Raven..."
Ruby panted, somehow, Emerald had managed to distract her from her original target. She took a step back, and aimed her scythe at Emerald.
Emerald smirked, her eyes glinting.
Ruby gasped as a shield flew over her. She began to take a few steps back as she saw the image of Pyrrha walk towards her,"Ruby..." her skin was pale, cracks had formed around the hole in her chest,"Why did you let me die?"
Ruby shook her head,"No..."She fell backwards as Pyrrha neared her,"I'm sorry..."
Qrow leaped back from one of Cinder's attacks,"Ruby, whatever you're seeing is not real!"
"Pyrrha, I'm sorry..." Ruby shook her head in fear as Pyrrha pointed her spear at her,"No... no..." She closed her eyes as tears fell down her cheeks,"No!"She opened her eyes as white light poured from them.
Emerald took a step back in shock, and then felt a scythe strike her in the stomach,"Argh!" she fell to the wall.
Ruby snarled, turning towards Hazel. In a flash, Hazel felt the scythe slam into him sending him into the floor. Ruby swung her scythe around, causing marks to appear on the wall and floor. Her glowing silver eyes glared at Cinder, who took a step back in fright. She ran at her, slicing through Mercury along the way.
Qrow stood next ot Ozpin,"Can we stop her!?"
"I'm afraid not, she's too enraged." Ozpin said with a frown.
Ruby ran towards Cinder, watching as Cinder began to run towards someone. She roared as she sliced through Cinder.
Then she heard a scream. She turned around, seeing the source.
Weiss fell to the ground, a scythe mark on her chest.
"Weiss." Her eyes went back to normal,"No..." She watched as Jaune ran to her, and began to beg Weiss to stay with him. He didn't notice his hands healing her,"I'm sorry..." Ruby whispered, her pupils dilating.
"She hasn't spoken to us since." Qrow said with a frown.
Yang punched the wall,"Darn it, I come back and this is my reward..." She looked down to the ground, before looking back at him,"Wait, you said since?"
Qrow nodded,"Yeah. Hasn't said a single word."
Yang grinned,"Until now." Yang looked back at the door," She just basically told me to leave her alone, but it was something."
Qrow looked at the door, then back at Yang,"Yeah... it was something. Didn't Summer say that a little something will go a long way?"
Yang smiled, before hugging him,"That's right! If she's anything like me, it's going to take a while, but she'll be back to her old self soon!" She looked back,"I gotta do something, though."
Yang walked into the lounge, seeing everyone staring at the table in front of them. Blake seemed to be holding her cheek in pain. Yang walked up to Blake,"Blake."
Blake looked up at her,"Yang, I-" She then felt Yang punch her in the nose,"Ow!" she held her bloody nose,"First Weiss and now you!?"
"I forgive you now!" Yang crossed her arms,"Wish I could've done this in Menagerie, would've loved to have seen that place."
Blake wiped her nose,"Maybe I'll show you later, after all this is done."
"Good deal." Yang smirked, patting her head.
"Ruby?" Yang heard Jaune ask from behind her.
Yang turned to Jaune and sighed,"She's... recovering. It's going to take time."
Weiss got up,"Very well then. I understand nothing I'm going to say is going to fix her?" she frowned at Yang's shaking head,"Fine." She walked to the door,"I'm going to look around Haven"
"Me too." Yang said, walking up to her.
"I want to go with you, to at least buy you guys some things to... make up for my stupidity." Blake got up next to them.
"Oh, right, you're apparently rich." Weiss chuckled as they opened the doors.
"Wait, what?" Yang asked, before stopping. The trio turned to a window, and saw Ruby looking down at them. Her eyes were slightly blank.
Yang sighed,"It's going to take some time." She held her hand up to her.
Blake did the same," And some support."
Hesitantly, Weiss slowly raised her hand to her,"And a little talking."
Yang smiled as Ruby began to shakily raise her hand to the window towards them,"But she'll be okay."
A/N: BAM! Surprise Bittersweet Ending!
The whole bit where Yang punched Blake and then forgave her was a bit that I wanted to use in my previous fic, Embers, but I didn't get a chance to use it.
And the whole idea with Ruby using her Silver Eyes to go berserk came from my main issue with Vol. 5: The sheer anticlimactic-ness of it! Seriously, we finally get to see Ruby go Silver Eyes only for Emerald to bop her on the head like something out of a looney tunes cartoon!? Come on, at least with Avatar, the Avatar State was built up, but this? This is just silly. I'm sure what I wrote isn't what Silver Eyes is supposed to do, but I really had little to work with there. I'm pretty sure some people will say that what I wrote probably isn't that good, either, and I might agree. I'm not so pompous to say I can write better than professionals after all.
